How close did this man live to your rifle maker? I figure that the last name could have used various spellings back then. I also figure that the name may have been common in the area, and many people could have the popular old name, John, Jacob, James, etc.

John B Bogart Sr.
1780–1870
Birth 19 SEP 1780 • Washington County, Tennessee, USA

Death 1870 • , Monroe County, Tennessee, USA
